Martha has arrived
My last blog was ten days ago, so Vaizey is guilty again of letting you down. I have a good excuse this time, though. Our daughter Martha, a sister for 18 month old Joseph, arrived on 12th March at 2.44pm. She is, as you would imagine, very beautiful and delightful. Her brother has astonished us by being as equally delighted with her as we are. Martha may well have a political career ahead of her. She was born on the same day as Viriginia Bottomley, Baroness Peta Buscombe and David Mellor. She also shares a birthday with the sculptor Anish Kapoor and the singer Liza Minelli.
Martha delayed her arrival from 29th February, so that I could vote for a referendum on the European Constitution, and started to arrive just as Alistair Darlimg got to his feet, thus ensuring I missed the most boring Budget in history. So she has acute political antennae.
Martha was born on the NHS, and the care we received was first-class during the delivery. (I’ll pass over the three hour waits every time we had an ante-natal appointment.) Thank you to every one involved in delivering her safely into the world, your care and diligence was wonderful.

Hello Martha, welcome to the world! I hope Mummy, Daddy and big bruv are happy and well, too. Can you tell Daddy to put a photo asap, with the usual details Daddies tend to forget like weight, hair, other names, amount of screaming etc, thanks.
Love to you all, Auntie Tiz
Sincere congratulations! Yeah!!!!
